ABOUT THE MASTER CLASS:

“Wisdom Starts with Wonder” Socrates

In the age of acceleration where humans and organizations are flooded with data, information and “insights”, wisdom becomes a rare commodity. And yet we all know when we see it.

Surrounded by smart algorithms, microtargeting and digital echo chambers, humans crave wisdom more than ever. Leaders that paint a compelling vision of a better future, organizations that continuously reinvent themselves, and teams that bring out the best in us - these are all examples of wisdom.

Wisdom, as scientific research shows, extends beyond IQ, programming skills and analytical capabilities. Wisdom starts where deep knowledge meets real-life experience. It is forged in in the fire of the ups and downs of life, the messiness of human condition and complexity of social dynamics.

In this masterclass we will take a deep dive into the science of human wisdom. A renowned psychologist and entrepreneur, Patrycja Slawuta will lead an immersive and intensive exploration of what research reveals about cultivating the rarest of the human skills : wisdom, creativity and innovation. And how they can be enhanced but not replaced by the modern day technology.

YOU WILL LEARN:

• Why Wisdom = Knowledge + Experience

• How to assess where you are and how to start

• How to use technology to help you hack yourself

• Immediately applicable techniques from cutting-edge psychological research

4. ANDREW AND GAIA GRANT

Ignite, Gain, Sustain: How to navigate 4 key innovation paradoxes for a sustainable innovation culture in the ‘innovation race’

Andrew Grant and Gaia Grant are the directors of Tirian International Consultancy, and authors of the breakthrough new book The Innovation Race: How to change a culture to change the game along with international bestseller ‘Who Killed Creativity?... And How Can We Get it Back?.


For many years people have believed that innovation is initiated and fuelled by being open and taking risks. While this is partially true, Gaia Grant has discovered from her research with the University of Sydney Business School that much more is needed for sustainable innovation. By identifying 4 key innovation paradoxes and how to navigate them effectively, Gaia demonstrates how to not just survive but to thrive in the ‘innovation race’. Her research on the paradox theory has caught the attention of leading international academics, and she has just returned from presenting papers on her findings at the prestigious EGOS and PROS management theory conferences in Europe.

Taking a fascinating global perspective and utilising an engaging simulation exercise, the Grants explore the current state of innovation and identify what is needed to accelerate us into the future. They draw on 30 years of international innovation consulting with world innovation leaders, and include fascinating facts and case studies from their breakthrough book The Innovation Race: How to change a culture to change the game. They also include the validated Innovation Change Leader (iCLi) Profiling Tool to assist with building individual innovation strengths and a culture of innovation in the organisation. The result is a fast paced immersion experience that blends practical examples from client work, fascinating case studies, useful tools and unique theoretical perspectives.

YOU WILL LEARN:

• The result is a fast paced immersion experience that blends practical examples from client work, fascinating case studies, useful tools and unique theoretical perspectives

• Validated Innovation Change Leader (iCLi) Profile Tool - assisting with identification of individual innovation preferences and strengths

• ‘Polar Positioning’ technique for identifying the impact of the 4 key innovation paradoxes and understanding how to navigate them successfully

ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS:

Is the speed of technological, economic, environmental, political, and social change “rewiring” humanity, and thus redefining work, income, consumption, education, and lifestyles in the 21st Century?

Many of today’s experts and thought leaders agree that our environment of accelerating volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity is ushering in a new era of human development, and this in turn will mean that we must intentionally reframe our mindset, activity, and purpose as a species.

In this creative and empowering session, we will dive into what humanity will “think, do and be” in light of the unprecendented changes taking place all around us. The session will give participants the chance to explore what those radical changes might mean for their personal journeys, their organizations, and their industries as they move into the future.

YOU WILL LEARN:

• A method for recognizing your assumptions about the future that could keep you from seeing and leveraging the changing role of humans in learning, leaading and creating

• New mindsets for redefining and reframing humanity in the rapidly changing environment of the 21st Century

• How humans are being “wired for next” by the technological and social changes all around us

• How to use Strategic Foresight tools to examine the extended ramifications of the shifting landscape

11. RACHEL AUDIGE

Innovation Agility: What is holding you back and 5 tools to nail it

Rachel is a Franco-Australian speaker, facilitator, blogger and innovation architect. She runs Systematic Inventive Thinking- Australia and has long experience in international marketing. She is the author of ‘The Innovation Mix’, a diagnostic model for organisational innovation. Her sweet spot is getting smart people in a room and giving them an alternate search engine for their minds to give them more inventive and feasible ideas. She is a Non-Executive Director on the boards of Creativity Australia and the Produce Marketing Association and has a Bachelor of Economics (Sydney Uni), a Maitrise in Political Science (Paris-Sorbonne) and an MBA (Melbourne Business School).


If innovation were easy, everyone would be excelling at it. Instead, many of us get stuck with our default thinking and fail to develop inventive solutions to problems and disruptions we encounter - let alone new, leading ideas. How can we bust this? How could we combine creativity with rigour? Could we do a better job of using the resources we have?

Organisations need to stop “doing innovation” and start innovating in what they do. This means upskilling teams with the toolset and mindset to enable them to innovate with minimal risk and to maximum effect - on demand.

Customer insights are the fuel for many innovations but how do we innovate when we don’t have any - or when our insights are the same as our competitors’?

YOU WILL LEARN:

• To identify a cognitive bias that inhibits creative thinking and tools to bust this when you need to innovate

• To thrive with creative constraints

• To recognize patterns in innovation that can be harnessed “on demand”

• To be agile in the creative process to enable you to work from form to function, when this makes most sense

• The beginnings of a toolset and mindset to make you more innovatively agile

As one of Australia’s leading Graphic Recorders, Jessamy Gee has developed a unique skill set in listening, synthesising, capturing and communicating information visually.


In a world of data, automation, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality... our “human-ness” is one of our greatest assets.

What were once thought of as “soft skills” - emotional intelligence, critical thinking, problem solving, empathy, and of course - listening and communication - are now key to finding success in a future where the only certainty is change.

The best way to future-proof ourselves is to start investing in these skills. We need to take the time to learn to listen well, and consider how to use our sweet human skills to capture and communicate important information in a way that cuts through today’s info overload.

In this Master Class we explore how to be better at communicating as a human. How to listen with purpose (not wait to talk), and use the power of visuals to take notes that help you to engage with & understand what you’re hearing, connect to it on both a logical and emotional level, and remember stuff six times better than if you were using words alone.

YOU WILL LEARN:

• Purposeful Listening - practical tips for outcome-focused listening: setting intention and paying attention

• Visual Notetaking basics - how to capture your listening in a useful and engaging way

• Why highly skilled human communication is so important today

• A two-way street: the shared responsibility of communicator & listener
